The Bergara Premier Competition Elite in 6mm Dasher is a factory-built precision rifle aimed squarely at PRS-style competition (Bergara part no. BPR35-6DSH). It pairs a Premier barreled action with a 26-inch stainless No. 7 taper barrel, an MDT ACC Elite chassis and a TriggerTech Special trigger. This version is finished with a black Cerakote barrel and a Blue Titanium Cerakote stainless receiver, and its forend carries a full-length Arca Swiss rail. A 12-round AICS-pattern detachable magazine keeps stage reloads to a minimum. It gives a match shooter the features usually reserved for a custom build in a rifle that arrives ready to shoot.

Key Specifications

• Chambering is 6mm Dasher, a cartridge widely chosen for precision rifle and benchrest-style competition.
• Barrel length is 26 inches, long enough to take full advantage of the cartridge’s velocity.
• The barrel is stainless steel in a No. 7 taper, a heavier profile that Bergara says is stiffer and stays more stable under sustained fire.
• The muzzle is threaded 5/8-24 with a thread protector, ready for a brake or suppressor mount.
• Rate of twist is 1:7.5, the rifling rate Bergara specifies for this chambering.
• Magazine capacity is 12 rounds in a detachable AICS-pattern magazine, which supports long stages without a reload.
• Starting weight is 13.5 pounds, a bench-steady mass that helps the rifle settle back on target between shots.
• Overall length is 46.5 inches, which is worth checking against your pack or case before you travel to a match.
• The chassis is an MDT ACC Elite with a full-length ARCA forend and a tunable weight system, so balance and ergonomics can be adjusted to the shooter.
• The trigger is a TriggerTech Special, which uses Frictionless Release Technology to remove creep and heavy pull weights.
• The finish is a black Cerakote barrel with a Blue Titanium Cerakote stainless receiver, a durable coating that resists corrosion and wear.
